How Network Marketers Can Help Military Families

They say that network marketers never really "get" their industry until they stop thinking of themselves and start helping others. While focusing on our down line and other primary business owners is great, adding community involvement into the mix can also give you great exposure. Here are five ways network marketers can help military families. Charitable Donations.

You've finally done it... you've reached that successful level you've always been dreaming of. You've got the expensive car, nice house, great retirement plan, and have airline tickets to the coast of somewhere beautiful. What can you do to help military families? Find a charity. There are a ton, including the USO and Blue Star Mothers. (Others are out there... but as a wife of a former Marine wife, these two are my personal picks.) From a humanity standpoint, a donation to a charity benefiting members of the military and their families is great.

From a business standpoint, there is also a tax break. Care Packages. Looking for a great way to get your business group together for a team building rapport exercise that doesn't include "showing the plan"? Put together care packages for deployed military service members. Socks, gum, personal care items, and non-melting snacks are all great ides to include.

For further information on creating care packages, visit Operation Military Pride. Help Military Members and Spouses Build Their Business. The first couple years of my marriage and during the time both of my sons were born, we were living on a military paycheck. While there were some perks, being stationed in expensive Southern California left very little room in the budget for extras. One way network marketers can help military families is by helping service members and their spouses build their businesses. Donate training materials that you would usually charge for.

Donate funds for them to go through the crucial My Leads System Pro training. Help them get to marketing events within your primary business. By helping military families build their businesses, you are helping them secure a future outside of the government. Sponsor Kids. No, I don't mean sponsoring them into a business. Instead, I am talking about sponsoring them through camp and college scholarships. Many military kids deal with the traumas of having a parent gone for months at a time, injured, or even killed.

In addition, they usually are moved from location to location, making changing schools and friends difficult. A great way to help military families is by giving kids the opportunities to enjoy childhood that they may not otherwise have. Special Training. If you are a heavy hitting mentor, consider offering special webinars or training for military members and their spouses. For those leaving the military or spouses who are forced to move around, finding a secure career can be quite difficult. By offering specific training, you are able to cater to this very special niche and help a lot of families. For additional tips for network marketers, please visit LandraLynnJacobs.com
